[Comprehensive British and American] Old popsicle online dating rules

Garald is now completely dazed.

I didn't expect to be attacked by someone at all, and I was blasted into the hole with a single shot.Although Captain America quickly covered the two of them with his shield, the flames of the grenade exploding on the shield still dazzled people, and it was too late to react, so he could only let himself fall straight down like this.

This vertical stairwell doesn't seem to be too shallow. The wind blowing up from the darkness, carrying the damp and cold from the ground, whistled past the ears of the two, making Garald feel like they were heading towards the center of the earth. The illusion of falling.But fortunately, because Steve was pulled into his arms before being blown away, Mr. Elf didn't suffer any serious impact, but was knocked on the forehead by the shield.At this moment, the captain's arm was still firmly around his waist, and he used his body and star shield to block all the impacts on the wall of the stairwell. Although they couldn't relieve them from this terrible weightlessness, they still couldn't Minimize the possibility of elves being injured.

The tricky thing, however, was that the stairwell was too deep for them.

If the two fell directly to the bottom like this, even if Captain America has four times the physique and four times the self-healing ability, it is absolutely impossible to withstand the impact of that level of gravitational acceleration.

Thinking of this, Jarod's heart suddenly jumped, and he stretched out his hand to hold the shield that was close in front of him, hoping to change to a less dangerous position before landing.And Steve obviously had the same idea as him. The moment he felt the movement of the elf in his arms, he also exerted his strength suddenly, and turned himself and Garrod over at the moment his back hit the wall of the stairwell again. Facing the unfathomable darkness at the bottom, he tried to use the star shield to absorb the impact of landing.

"Peng——!"

Almost at the same time as he completed this set of difficult movements, accompanied by the muffled sound of metal contacting the soil, both of them also felt a huge force hitting the arm holding the shield.Garrod, who landed first, was blinded, and then knocked his forehead against the edge of the shield. Before he could cry out in pain, Steve on him also fell down heavily, and the force around his waist suddenly Tighten it up, almost strangling the elf to death.

"God……"

Feeling that his arm supporting the shield had lost all feeling, Captain America groaned unconsciously.But soon, he remembered that there was an elf under him being pressed by him. Although he had turned sideways the moment he hit the ground, he used his shoulders as a cushion for them and a shield as a cushion, but his weight of more than 200 pounds If the weight is pressed down, it will definitely be crushed enough.

"Are you OK?"

Almost jumping up from the ground, Steve let go of the hand holding the shield, but did not take back the arm around Garald's waist, but helped him up: "Garrod? Garrod ?! Are you still awake?!?"

"……right……"

He was really almost crushed to death by the captain. Mr. Elf struggled to move his arm, put it on his shoulder to prop up his body, and wobbled to his feet while covering his bruised forehead: "I almost thought I was going to die .”

"Me too."

After confirming again and again that Garald was fine, but he was stunned for a while, Steve finally heaved a sigh of relief.Picking up the shield from the ground, he raised his hand and glanced at the place where they fell, and unexpectedly found that he could no longer see any light, nor could he hear the sound of the falcon, as if the two had fallen into another space, except Each other, there is no longer any familiar things around.

"Communications are down."

After listening to the blind voice of snowflakes coming from the channel, the captain frowned slightly: "It is impossible to dig the foundation of the Hydra base so deep. We should be at the bottom of this mountain range now."

That's where things got weird.

While Steve looked around, Garrod was also looking at the space that trapped them.Since the elf's eyes are not blinded by any darkness, he can see more than Steve in a way, and therefore, can spot something wrong faster than he can.

"The digging time here is very early."

Stretching out his hand to touch the wall of the stairwell, his fingertips soon touched the uneven wall and a few nicks, and Mr. Elf couldn't help but frown: "It's much earlier than this base, I think Like a mine tunnel or something, and someone was using it not too long ago...I think it was the Hydra up there, but for some reason they closed it up a while ago."

"Yes."

Remembering that the door was locked firmly without leaving any gaps before they were knocked down by a cannonball, Steve nodded in agreement: "They should have discovered this when they were building the base." The stairwell, or the base was built for the stairwell, it's possible."

And if this is the case, then what is hidden in this stairwell that can make Hydra so troublesome is very worth pondering.

After taking two steps, he accidentally kicked the already rusted machines piled up in the corner, including some wooden planks and iron chains, which were obviously the wreckage left by the elevator in the original stairwell. Steve couldn't help raising his eyebrows: "It seems that we have to thank the guy who knocked us down? Otherwise, who would have thought that apart from those nutrition warehouses, there would be other surprises in this base?"

Surprise is not necessarily enough, but fright may indeed be there.

Remembering the sign of 'Extremely Dangerous' hanging on the door before he fell, Jarod shook his head and continued to grope on the wall bit by bit.

Watching the elves busy, Steve shrugged his shoulders, and handed over the task of investigation to him with great reassurance. He squatted down in front of the pile of abandoned machines in the corner, fiddling with something.

And soon, Mr. Elf made a discovery.

"It's windy here."

His fingers touched a bump somewhere on the wall, and at the same time, there was a trace of coolness brushing over his fingertips, which proved that there must be an exit behind.Garrod paused, turned his head, and gently pushed the shoulder of Captain America, who was squatting on the ground and fiddling: "Let me use your shield."

"no problem."

Steve immediately handed over the shield behind him.The elf held it in his hand, found the place he just touched, and smashed it down against the wall.And almost the moment the metal touched the wall, a hole the size of a bowl was smashed out of the stairwell in front of him, exposing the dark walkway behind it.

Pushing away all the bricks and stones piled up in the aisle, Jarod squinted his eyes and breathed in the old damp air inside.For some reason, the bad feeling I felt from entering this base suddenly became more intense. It was something that disturbed the elves even more than the dark aura of the orcs. It was like a perpetual flame in the mountain of ashes. , Dangerous enough that just a thin premonition is enough to make people fear.

"It turns out that there is still such a place here."

I don't know when he stood beside Garrod, Steve looked at the seemingly unfathomable darkness in front of him, and frowned tightly: "Do you want to go in and take a look?"

"of course."

Naturally, he would not stop just because of a bad feeling, not to mention the fact that there is air circulation, which proves that there may be another exit ahead.Garald took a deep breath, suppressed the uneasiness in his heart, and nodded quickly.

Then, before he finished speaking, he was surprised to find that a white light source lit up from Captain America's hand.Although it wasn't too strong, it could dispel the darkness in front of it a little and illuminate the road a few meters ahead.

"Gizmo I made out of that pile of wires."

Facing the surprised eyes of the elves, Steve shrugged his shoulders while holding up the simple light that he had just fiddled with: "I learned it on the battlefield before. Sometimes there is no backup and supplies, and everything has to be figured out by myself... Although there is no flashlight So useful, but it shouldn’t be a problem to support it for an hour or two.”

And an hour or two is more than enough, Steve thought.After all, the Falcon is still up there, and another Avengers team will come over soon.They just went to the front to check a little bit instead of taking risks. Even if something was wrong, they could immediately return to the original place and solve it together after the team assembled.

Nodding, Garrod had no objection to this.The two looked at each other and hit it off immediately. Captain America opened the way ahead with a shield, while Mr. Elf followed behind him, always paying attention to the surrounding movement and providing support.

The dark corridor was much longer than they had imagined.

Judging from the location of its construction, Garrod and Steve should be walking towards the interior of the mountain range, and experienced several uphills and forks during the process.Afraid of losing their way, the two did not explore the forked roads that did not know where they were going. They just kept walking in the same direction, following the cold wind blowing from the depths, and blending into the unknown darkness ahead.

Garald didn't deliberately calculate the distance they walked, but based on the distance traveled by the two of them and the time they spent, it must have been more than ten kilometers.But this passage still seems endless, deep, spacious and silent, under the light source that can only illuminate a few meters at a time, for a while, only the footsteps and breathing of the two can be heard echoing in the ears.

In fact, this is a bit like the situation when he used to explore various ruins with Glorfindel when he was in Gondolin.

During the long silence, Jarod's thoughts drifted involuntarily to a long, long time ago, the era that still belonged to elves.When he first entered Middle-earth, he was always curious about this vast land, so he always refused to live in Gondolin honestly, so that the Lord of the Golden Flower, one of the leaders of the twelve families of Gondolin, was also killed. He couldn't take it easy, and kept running around with him.And whenever he discovers some ancient ruins, or an abandoned mine by the dwarves, Glorfindel is always like this, walking where he can touch it, even if he doesn't say anything, he can still feel it. The sense of security of being accompanied and protected by others made him extremely at ease.

That was the happiest and most missed moment in Garrod's life.After all, at that time, the Lord of the Golden Flower had not yet died in the battle with the Balrog, and it was far away from his rebirth from Valinor.Their strengths are almost the same, and they rely on each other. Even if they are extremely embarrassed by half-orcs or other dark creatures, they can always get the satisfaction of taking risks.

But when Gondolin fell and the Lord of the Golden Flower was revived and returned to Middle-earth under the permission of Valar, the strength of Glorfindel, who had received divine grace, was far beyond what he could match. The objects he protected, even those originally threatening dark creatures ran away when they saw them.Under such circumstances, no matter what kind of adventure there is, it will no longer be as fun as it should be. Rather than going out to crush all beings in Middle-earth, the two elves are more willing to nest in Rivendell to bicker with each other, dislike each other, and by the way, Elrond The moral energy reaches the hairline and recedes again and again.

Immersed in this kind of reminiscence of the past, Jarod gradually became unable to distinguish the difference between the past and reality.So, when they finally reached the end of the passage, and saw the huge cave in front of him that was almost the same as the dwarf mine, he couldn't react for a while.

"I really didn't expect that there are dwarf mine ruins in this mountain range."

He stared wide-eyed, looking at the countless stairs leading to the top of the cave and deeper at the bottom of the mountain, as well as the faint outline of the palace in the distance.Garald tugged at the sleeve of the man beside him in shock, a flash of wonder flashed in his eyes:

"It's kind of like Moria, isn't it, Flower?"

And the other party didn't answer for a long time.

"Ahua?"

Garald was a little puzzled when he didn't hear the expected response.But just when he was about to turn his head to see if the other party was too shocked to speak, he suddenly realized that the Golden Flower Lord Glorfindel had already traveled westward with their group.Standing beside him now should be Captain America Steve Rogers, whom he had just met not long ago.

"..."

Garrod's half-twisted neck immediately froze in place.

He began to pray to Vera that the captain had just been immersed in the marvel of the magnificent ruins in front of him just like him, and he must not hear what he said.

however.

"Who is Ah Hua?"

One sleeve was still being pulled by the elf.Steve turned his head and asked with a puzzled face.

The author has something to say: Da Dun: Who is Ah Hua?

Author: emmm... Lord of the Golden Flower.

Da Dun: What does he have to do with "Fried Golden Flower"? !

Author: ... Good friend?
